Dressing up

My whist group and I were saying  today that nobody makes the effort to dress up through the day any more. We've agreed to all wear a nice dress next week (only the ladies of course).  I've got some really lovely dresses and it'll be nice to start wearing them again. I'm looking forward to trying things on that I haven't worn in ages. 

We're looking at open gardens to visit and have our eyes on quite a few dotted around the country.  We'll be staying two or three days in the areas that we pick and exploring places we've never been before. We're also looking at booking a couple of caravan holidays so that we can explore new areas. If you've been anywhere worth visiting please let me know

  1. Interesting. I guess there's a time and a place for dressing up and a lot of us don't have that much dressing up stuff in our lives now. xx

    1. I used to think that too but I'm determined to make more of an effort to dress up.

  3. Did you mention that you and your husband did some kind of waltz that involved a bit of stomping? It was on a recent post? I tried to go back and see it and I can't. I might be mixed up, it could be another blogger from England. 🤔

  4. Have you ever been to Southwold on the Suffolk coast? Southwold itself is very pretty with its lighthouse, the pier, attractive beach huts and interesting architecture. Sutton Hoo is worth a visit, as are Orford and Framlingham Castles. There are lots of pretty villages (Thorpeness is interesting) and a variety of beaches and RSPB sites. Charmaine
